The Fedipact statistics are interesting

7% of active users committed to #fedipact - https://fedidb.org/current-events/anti-meta-fedi-pact

* How representative of the user base is this, or are admins gatekeeping here? A large survey would be good to clear that up.

* EG, Mastodon, relative to its userbase, seems the most "Meta friendly" with only 57% of fedipact users (but ~80% all users)

* Fractal of niche-dom? Fedi ~1% of social media, fedi-pact ~ 10% of fedi. So anti-meta-fediverse ~0.1%?

It is hypothetical indeed. I‘m part of a targeted minority as well and ran away from general social media for multiple reasons, hate not being the biggest. So I won’t speak to your reasons because I‘m not in the same position.

My issue was power imbalance. The single entity could do whatever they wished. If I ever went to a place that federated with them, the power imbalance is back and I‘m back where I wanted to get away from.

To me, the difference is that the power isn't in their hands now, even with federation. If they don't act on something that should be acted on, we can still act on it, even if only for our own instance.

I agree. You can act then. But your place will be fundamentally different from what it was.
